Virgin supports the Swiss Management Center for motorsports
Motor sports are a field that makes many people dream, but the chosen few are rare. Virgin becomes the first team to officially support a program dedicated to management in motor sports, offered by the Swiss Management Center University.
The program implemented by the Swiss university takes the form of an eight-week seminar that participants can follow online, according to their own schedules and constraints. The topics covered are as follows: leadership, marketing, logistics, and sponsor management.
Virgin’s contribution, in addition to promoting the program, includes an internship within the team as well as an invitation to the paddocks at the Grand Prix chosen by the participant. « Just as much as the sporting aspect, the business of motorsports is exciting, demanding but equally rewarding. A good education and training are the cornerstone of great performance and success in the motorsports industry. Thanks to this partnership with SMC University, students will have the opportunity to work in relation with Marussia Virgin Racing and we will all learn from each other. The motorsports management course offers the foundation for success in this extraordinary environment, to be fully part of it. »
Of course, all this doesn’t come for free since the total cost of the program reaches 1,250 euros. Everyone will therefore have to decide if their passion justifies this kind of investment.
